NEW YORK, October 3l.-Tne contest for the
district-attorneyship OF this city Is achieving a
national reputation. The politicia or al par
ties, though viewing the fight from different
points, see IN II much more than the mere ftng OF
a place. The out-and-Out democratic papers have
coined a new political thet-NicoillS3G-which
Is suppose TO indicate new shade OF unfaithful-
ness to party, and which was violently hurled
about during The few days preceding the bitter
struggle in Baltimore. Mr. Ncoll's action IN
accepting republican nomination will cause

cannot be without their influence In the great
strugg OF 1883. These Quarrels are Mt all ln
one camp, either, which makes the problem all the
more Interesting for the politicians. There have
been some noteworthy examples OF the power or
boss rule. and papers, as well as leaders, have had

great slirTing or the bosses, and Will result In
some ghasily struggles for harmony before another
year has passed. For these reasons IL may be Of
interest TO have look at the personal character
isticS OF three candidates who are posing for the
peoples sunrages. They make material for
str1klHg contrasts Delaney Nlcoll, Col Fellows,
and Louis +. Post are all men who are Well known
about town.
DELANEY NIcoLL-
or the three Delaney NicoI Is the youngest,
handsonest. and most popular with the ladies. He
is the only one OF the three who is an unmarried
man. His apartments on East 27th street are ftted
up ln that delightful, free-and-easy manner which
Indicates complete and absolute Indifference TO
anything like primneaS. He Is a young man OF f1ne
physique, blonde hair ana moustache. and clean
cut features He is inclined 10 be ra her reserved

though as jolly add pleasant companion among
his friends as one would wish to meet. lie is very
fond OF society and all sports. During the summer

English style. Nevertheless there is nothing OF

Quent advocate.

where men about town are most frequently met.

They look upon him as a man who Il too strong
minded To be pu1ed up by the fuloolIe nattery he
has received. IL is hardly probable that Delancy
